1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposePenetration enhancers are necessary to overcome a formidable barrier function of the stratum corneum in the development of topical formulations. Recently, non-lamella liquid crystal (NLLC)-forming lipids such as glycerol monooleate and phytantriol (PHY) are gaining increasing attention as a novel skin permeation enhancer. In the present study, fluorescein sodium (FL-Na) was used as a model hydrophilic drug, and acryl-base pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape containing NLLC forming lipids, mono-O-(5,9,13-trimethyl-4-tetradecenyl) glycerol ester (MGE) or PHY, was prepared to enhance drug permeation through the skin.

methodsA PSA patch containing FL-Na was prepared by mixing FL-Na entrapped in NLLC and acrylic polymer. FL permeation through excised hairless rat skin, and also human skin, was investigated. Changes in lipid structure, folding/unfolding state of keratin in the stratum corneum, and penetration of MGE into the stratum corneum were investigated using confocal Raman microscopy.

resultsEnhanced FL permeation was observed by the application of a PSA patch containing MGE and PHY. Especially, dramatically enhancement effect was confirmed by 15% of MGE contained formulation. Penetration of MGE provided diminished orthorhombic crystal structure and a peak shift of the aliphatic CH

conclusionThe present results suggested that the formulation development by adding MGE may be useful for improving the skin permeation of mal-permeable drugs such as hydrophilic drugs.
